VASILE

Vasile, 2017 Short Documentary, 23min, Romania
Time passes along unhurried in the small traditional Romanian village of Maramures. From the polling of the hay, to the lazy dog seeking shelter from the hot sun, peasant Vasile Oanea and his cameras find beauty in it all. Stacked wall to wall with photos and mementos, Vasile has turned his modest house into a living monument to fleeting moments. But when you have given everything to documenting others, who will preserve you when your time is up?
